Abstract

There is provided an aircraft insulation system and method for providing fire penetration resistance and/or thermal and acoustic protection. The aircraft insulation system comprises one or more insulation blankets (24,26), each having an inboard side (28) and an outboard side (30). The aircraft insulation system further comprises a fire penetration resistant cover material (32) having a heat seal adhesive (34), wherein the fire penetration resistant cover material covers the outboard side of the one or more insulation blankets. The aircraft insulation system further comprises an insulation cover (36) film having a heat seal adhesive (38), wherein the insulation cover film covers the inboard side of the one or more insulation blankets. The aircraft insulation system further comprises a thermal heat seal (40) that joins the fire penetration resistant cover material and the insulation cover film together to form a continuous insulation blanket assembly.
